Grilled Tempeh Burgers

Topped with your choice of burger fixings, grilled tempeh makes a hearty, healthy veggie burger. (Steaming it first makes it more digestible.) You can also try this tempeh stuffed into whole grain pita bread or sliced and wrapped in a tortilla with cheese, guacamole and salsa.

Steam tempeh pieces in or over simmering water for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a small plate. Poke small holes in tempeh with a fork on both sides and set aside.

Mix tamari, mirin, garlic powder and onion powder in a wide, shallow dish to make a marinade. Add tempeh, turning to coat, cover and set aside for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

Heat a grill over medium heat. Grill tempeh 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until browned with grill marks. Alternately, heat a small amount of canola oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook tempeh for 3 to 4 minutes on both sides, until browned.
